Covers fundamental concepts in modern photonics, including ray optics, wave optics, polarization optics, material properties, plasmonics, and metamaterials.
Explores photonic bandgaps in different structures and common 2D lattices, discussing factors influencing their existence and scaling laws for different frequencies.
Explores electromagnetic waves in dielectric media, including linear, isotropic, and anisotropic behavior, as well as the nonlinear characteristics of polarization.
